what to do???

Hey,

Im 23, i have no prior mechanical experience and i want to become a helicopter engineer. A lot of people have said this is going to be very tough to accomplish which i dont mind, as its all i want to do and i will get there!

However, im confused as to how i should go about it. Should i just start a course in Aero engineering that for example lasts two years and gives me an EASA 66 license after 2/3 years " practical " work in the job. If so where are these courses and can i do a course where you work on planks, but still go on to work on helicopters as the few courses ive looked at seem to be plank based.

Or should i just ask every single company in the land if they will take me on for their apprenticeships. Ill work anywhere, im not bothered about moving if someone gives me the oppertunity.

I hope someone can give me some advice or even just tell me not to bother!! haha

Thanks,
